So, where is the option to change the status in the potv app? Tapatalk? The mobile website?
Cue the 'it should be' not the 'it is' responses...
There is no need to tag a user if sending a pm, because they'll get a pm alert/email anyway. All PM's are timestamp'd also, so...ya know, unnecessary chatter.
If it's pissing the 2 of you off that much, close the classifieds, or relinquish your op status' and learn to chill.
Remember not everyone has the time/ inclination or skills to find the original thread, click edit, click this, click that, click the other.
